I planted the starts yesterday for cabbage, lettuce, chard, bush beans and bok choy. The ones I seeded directly are starting to show. We had some serious rain this week, and I got pretty excited about the seeds sprouting. I stepped into the garden to grab a closer look and sank up to the ankles! Hope the little guys don't drown. It's weird that one garden is fine for walking and the other is a quagmire. Same soil, same amount of rain, same everything.

Do you have vineyards in your back yard? :) There's a poster here named Carole that is up in Riverside and is a great gardener. Perhaps you two can touch base. We used to live up in Redlands and had the same weather experiences but mostly just hot.

Yahoo! I just planted my seeds indoors and hope I'm right on time, since in southern Calif we go from rain to hail to snow and back to 72 all in a matter of 3-4 days I hope mother nature is done toying with us for this spring. Happy gardening everyone!
